STUNNING .."it was a conspiracy to coverup incompetence"(at the DOJ) leading to 9/11 LINK

[Blackhatjack]

Absolutely one of the MOST STUNNING revelations I have read regarding the incompetence of the DOJ leading up to 9/11, and the role played by Judge Mukasey in keeping it quiet.

IMHO no American can read this account and not be totally OUTRAGED --not only at the incompetence, but at the efforts to keep it quiet. Mukasey's confirmation hearing should set off a firestorm of public condemnation if the Senators have the resolve to ask the right questions. JUST STUNNING ....

"Mohamed would have been opened up by defense lawyers and told the whole sad tale of how he'd used the Bureau and the CIA and the DIA for years," says retired says retired special agent Joseph F. O'Brien. "The Bureau couldn't risk that kind of embarrassment."

The Ali Mohamed Enigma

Ultimately, the Feds cut a deal with Mohamed. In return for his silence, he would be spared the death penalty and end up in custodial witness protection. Today, his case file remains one of the most tightly sealed in the history of the "war on terror."

As commentator Rory O'Connor later described the Feds' handling of Mohamed, "it was a conspiracy to cover up incompetence."

As the new attorney general, Judge Michael B. Mukasey could change all of that. He could push to get Mohamed's file unsealed so that the public could finally get a full vetting of the Justice Department's track record when it came to stopping al Qaeda in the 12 years from when the FBI began tracking its New York cell up through the attacks of 9/11. But how likely is that, given Judge Mukasey's pedigree as an SDNY veteran who joked about Ali's significance as far back as 1995?

1. I'm still reeling from the declassified info contained in the excerpts...

THis is going to light a fire under 9/11 families who have every right to be outraged.

It clearly shows that the DOJ was not only incompetent in 'connecting the dots' with the information it already had in its files, but they conspired to keep quiet the details of how their incompetence may have allowed 9/11 to happen, when they had the information and the means which might have prevented it.

And Judge Mukasey's role in the proceedings that could have revealed this incompetence to the public must be questioned in the most severe terms at his confirmation hearing to become the Gonzo replacement at DOJ.

Here's another excerpt which is stunning:

"By this time, Emad Salem, Nancy Floyd's asset, was out of the cell. But the FBI continued to pay him through the summer, weaning him until he got a new job.

In October, 1992 he met Floyd at a Subway sandwich shop near 26 Federal Plaza to get his last cash payment of $500. During the brief encounter, Salem tried to warn her. He'd caught wind that something was being planned, and he begged her to follow Nosair's two getaway drivers, Abouhalima and Salameh.

But Floyd's hands were tied. She told Salem that in the weeks since he'd left, she'd been frozen out of the terrorism investigation by ASAC Dunbar. She would try and pass on the word and encourage the surveillance, but there was little else she could do.

Still, insistent that something terrible was about to happen, Salem issued a chilling warning. If the FBI wouldn't follow "The Red and Salameh," as he'd warned, them, then they shouldn't "bother to call" him "when the bombs go off."
